I think it could be a browser issue, FF is fine, even in IE it shows up fine, without the rounded corners though. I’ll try uninstalling/re-installing Chrome. I havent tried on Opera and Safari.
Great site and awesome plugins you have Pippin. Keep up with the awesome work.
any way to make this thing work with JW player plugin and image slider plugin??
I was so excited for this great plugin, but what I want it to do won’t work…
Unfortunately JW Player doesn’t work inside of the modals, sorry.
Is there a way to make this plugin work in the following way?
–>The popup appears when a user visits a page for the first time that day. To close the popup they have to click a button in the popup that says something like “I agree”, to get them to acknowledge a copyright notice?
Thanks for the help!
Yes it will work that way, though there isn’t anything that would prevent them from viewing the page if they disagreed.
How would the button which closes the popup need to work? Just make it a link to the page that the popup is on or is there a way to code a “close” button. Just bought the plugin btw
You can simply do:
[close]Close Text[/close]
Will this work if I want to have each individual Post or Page configured to open as a popup when clicked? For example, when a user searches my blog, and relevant posts are returned, when they click on an individual post, can the post content (video) open in a popup?
No, sorry.
Hi,
).
For some time modals are being displayed top-left aligned…
Would you please advise?
E.g. after you enter my website click “What can we do for you?” on the left margin in Login section (you may translate it into English first
Thanks,
Maciej
I need a link to your website please.
Hi,
Regarding the ‘strange’ alignment of dialogue…

Thanks in advance!

I don’t see the modal on that page, can you point it out?
Hi.
Just rebuilding our website. Email signup form used to display in a lightbox, but this isn’t working with WP 3.5.1
The form code is from a emailing service provider, so pretty standard stuff.
Can I put this form code in a Modal? I also have a button … can this still be used to activate the Modal?
Would rather check these out before buying!
Many thanks.
David
Can you show me the code you need to use? Some embed code does, some doesn’t.
Hi Pippin. This is the complete code, currently shown in a sidebar (using Page-in-widget), but it doesn’t work as a normal page either. We’d like to retain the position of the button in the sidebar. Is this enough for you to go on?
Thanks
David

Can you paste that to snippi.com and then share the link? Some of the code formatting got screwed up.
Can you have more than one modal window working on a single page? For example, if I had a number of products on a page and wanted to have a modal window for each one, is that possible?
Yes you can!
At http://www.messagehouse.org/temp you can see a plain link modal (“organizations all around the world”). For some reasons it creates an unwanted line return. Is there a way to avoid this? Thank you.
No sorry, that’s unavoidable.
Hello, just bought the plugin, it seems fine with wide configuration settings easy to set. I use it for contact form, so when finishing filling all fields and pressing “Submit” button, the window close automatically, even if some required fields are not filled. If the user clicks the Contact button again, the pop-up window show him red marked fields that needed to fill. Off course, such messages will be not delivered.
Is it possible to keep the form up while user get the approval information, that his message was send successfully. If not, maybe it will be possible to stop the window close automatically, so user would see the message and close it manually.
Thanks.
That is only possible if the contact form is submitted with ajax (meaning the page doesn’t reload).
Hi,
I’ve installed your Sugar Modal plugin to add multiple modals to one page, but I’m running into a number of problems that I can’t seem to solve:
- I’ve added the modal code to images so that when a user clicks the image, a modal shows with an additional image and text.
- However, all modals appear double: one smaller sized modal overlaying a bigger sized modal
- Plus, the close button (x in the upper right corner) only works when clicked 10+ times.
Any idea what could be wrong?
Multiple different modals, or multiple of the same one?
I’m using multiple different modals. I see to have fixed the double occurence of the modals (one of my slugs was wrong), but the problem with the close buttons still persists.
Here’s the code I’m using:
[modal name="Heineken souvenirs"][/modal]
The modal is called “Heineken souvenirs”, the slug is “heineken-souvenirs”.
If you place [close]Click me[/close] inside of the modal, does it work?
love the sugar modal but could you advise as to how I make it mobile friendly, as on iphone it doesn’t fit to size, is there a way to do this so it automatically scrolls to size on phones.
You will have to tweak the CSS yourself.
Hi,
Is is possible to have the modal only close by using the close button? It seems that if the user clicks anywhere outside of the modal, the window disappears.
Thank you.
No, sorry.
Is it possible to use this to create a popup of an example webpage written in PHP or Javascript?
I teach PHP and Javascript and I’d like for my students to be able to click on an assignment and see an example of the finished assignment. So for my PHP class I’d like them to be able to click on an assignment where they create a form, and see the finished form in a modal window. Is tis possible or will the PHP conflict with WordPress?
And what about Javascript? Could I show JavaScript code examples in this modal window?
If not, is there some other plugin that you’d recommend?
Thanks!
No, sorry.
For some reason I cant seem to get the plugin to work. It also stops me from navigating to the visual tab on all pages and posts whilst activated.
What version of WordPress do you have?
When someone signs up for my email list, they are directed to the usual thank you page. Is there a way to call up a modal with the thank you rather than take them to another page? I like the idea of being able to keep them on the current page.
Thanks
Jacqueline
No, sorry.
Hello. Not sure if this question has been asked already, but can the buttons themselves be styled via CSS globally? We’d like to make the default button styles align more closely with our theme.
Yes you can!
Pippen:
Can you send a link to directions o how to do this? I need to send this on to our developers.
If your developer is comfortable with CSS, they won’t need any instructions at all.
Hello there,
Currently, I’m using sampression theme and I’d like to know whether it’s possibleor not to use this plugin to open post (including all the content of the post e.g. the image, the comment etc) in a modal window from homepage ( the idea is similar to pinterest ) without having to go to the post page?
Regards,
Tina
No it’s not, sorry.
